Do you know Estee Lauder's iconic night serum? The one that costs hundreds of shekels? What if I tell you that I found a better replacement for a tenth of the price?

A few years ago I did a video comparing the ingredients between Estee Lauder's Night Repair and Isntree's Bifida Serum, and somehow it turned out that I only just tried it. I knew since then that it would be good, just based on the ingredients, and now I can finally confirm it. Did I mention that Isntree never disappoints?!

The serum is based on probiotic bifida, which is the famous ingredient in Estee Lauder's serum, but really not only! It is much more than that. So let's dive into the ingredient list, which is a work of art:

✅ Bifida probiotics - can repair DNA from sun damage, and strengthens the skin barrier. However, the research here is not big and with a lot of interest from Estee Lauder, so take it in proportion.

✅ Niacinamide - a ingredient that can help a variety of skin problems such as: lightening, treating post-acne spots, balancing sebum production, acne, strengthening the skin barrier, moisture, and more.

✅ Glycerin - a classic moisturizing ingredient.

✅ Fermented pumpkin enzyme - makes a very gentle exfoliation.

✅ Sake (fermented rice) - antioxidant, salt.

✅ hyaluronic acid - attracts moisture to the skin.

✅ Hydrolyzed collagen - to moisturize.

✅ Willow bark - relaxing. Considered a mild substitute for salicylic acid, but there is a debate about how effective it really is.

✅ 3 soothing and antioxidant plant extracts.

✅ Beta collagen - soothing, hydrating.

✅ 3 types of peptides, including a copper peptide, which can encourage the creation of collagen and elastin and thus treat and prevent wrinkles, improve skin moisture, strengthen the skin barrier, and some are also antioxidants.

✅ Allantoin and panthenol - soothing.

✅ Sculteria - a plant extract from Chinese medicine that can restore irritated skin and strengthen the skin barrier and is also an antioxidant.

✅ fragrance-free, alcohol, or essential oils.

I don't know how they managed to put so many good ingredients in one serum. It's just amazing.

I have been using it for about two months and in my opinion it is a stunning moisturizing serum. It is very light and absorbs quickly but still improves the moisture in the skin (my skin is dry).

Regarding antiaging, I can't testify because I use it mainly for prevention, but I think it's a good addition to an antiaging routine after you already use sunscreen and retinoids.

I really like it and highly recommend it. So what do you think? Estee's or Isntree's serum?

I ordered it at YesStyle. It used to be on iHerb too, for some reason it was discontinued. If they return to iHerb I will update the story.

The brand is cruelty-free 🐰❤️
